inevitably, there comes a time when you need to use something that requires such and such version of your os, itunes whatever. so i take the plunge and hope for the best.
now, my once like clockwork imac is all pinwheels and crashes. i'm sure this will continue until i reach critical mass and buy something new.
when the aliens find the charred remains of our planet i want them to know, it was planned obsolescence.

Actually Apple does an outstanding job of including backwards compatibility in most of it's software for older machines. Yes, it does get to a point where they will no longer support older machines though. Heck, I think it was the middle of 2009 when we finally decided to drop support of the Power PC chips for Final Cut Studio and went with only supporting the Intel chips.
Can't speak for iTunes with the iPhone OS, since Apple does not like it to be jailbroken.
